The City
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: Jacob Wylde's Reflections in 'The City'
Lyrics
Growing up is easy
Growing up is a straightforward process.
It's looking back that's hard
Reflecting on the past can be challenging.
And looking forward is impossible
Anticipating the future seems impossible.
But life keeps happening and
Life continues unfolding, but it doesn't seem genuine.
None of it feels real
Events and experiences lack a sense of reality.
A daily choice to live as though alive
Choosing to live authentically is a daily decision.
I'm just lost here in the city
Feeling lost in the city, without a place to call home.
I'm without a home to call my own
Seeking guidance on what to do next.
What am I to do now?
An expression of uncertainty and a plea for direction.
Oh give me an anchor for my wayward soul
Yearning for stability and a guiding force for the soul.
But you, you cut the pretence out
Acknowledging someone who is genuine and authentic.
You're everything that's real
Recognizing the authenticity and realness of a person.
Truly human in the best of ways
Complimenting someone for being truly human in a positive way.
And you're an eagle up there
Using the metaphor of an eagle to describe someone admirable.
I bet your Dad would say that too
Suggesting that the person's father would also admire them.
You see beauty in the small things
Appreciating the ability to find beauty in small details.
We're just out here in the city
Navigating life in the city, perhaps facing unexpected challenges.
I never thought it'd be this way
Expressing surprise at the unexpected nature of city life.
The clouds out here look much more pretty
Finding beauty in the clouds, contrasting with the city atmosphere.
Because here I watch them with you
Sharing a moment of appreciation with someone special.
I have no idea what to do
Feeling uncertain about the future and lacking a clear path.
But you are an anchor for my wary soul
Finding solace and stability in the presence of a reassuring person.
